Mark Roger Bailey

Mark Roger Bailey is a writer's writer. Following Emmy-winning writing for television, Bailey returned to his passion for literature and compelling storytelling with the thought-provoking and cinematic novels SAINT and BEYOND THESE WOODS.

SAINT, a novel that begins with a biogenetic discovery, results in an exciting journey from scientific revelation to literary creation. This journey involved years of meticulous research, including on-site at La Jolla's biogenetic laboratories, among the seven hills of Rome and in the 2,000-year-old city of the dead beneath St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.

In BEYOND THESE WOODS, Bailey explores the irreconcilable divides between commerce vs. environmental sustainability, the accumulation of power vs. service to others, and dogma vs. science. Biogenetic detective Lotte Keene risks life, limb, and love to solve the mystery of why humankind is so intent on war against itself and its planet.

Bailey writes daily and serves as a specialist creative advisor on high-profile projects. He and his wife live in California.
